The Daily Mail says the under-fire manager cut a forlorn figure after the match as he sat alone with his thoughts in his room off the home dressing room for 25 minutes before completing his media commitments.

The defeat means Arsenal, already reeling from Saturday's FA Cup exit at the hands of Blackburn, need a miracle to progress. Clearly upset by the result, Wenger headed straight down the tunnel without shaking opposing manager Jupp Heynckes's hand.
